Although there are many contributors to fetal growth and birth weight, reduced blood flow through the uterine arteries, which may be caused by stress or anxiety, could partially explain why women who are anxious during pregnancy tend to have smaller babies. This is the conclusion drawn by Jernima Teixeira and colleagues from Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital in their study published in this week's BMJ.

In their study of 100 pregnant women the authors found that women who were more anxious during pregnancy had significantly abnormal patterns of blood flow though the uterine arteries. They say that this suggests that the psychological state of the mother may affect fetal development and therefore birth weight.
